Helping
LDS Men Resolve their Homosexual Problems: A Guide for Family, Friends,
and Church Leaders

by Jason Park

Help for Those who Struggle
with Unwanted Same-sex Attraction

This book presents an understanding of male same-sex attraction (homosexuality) in the
context of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is written to the family,
friends, and priesthood leaders of Latter-day Saint (Mormon) men who want
to resolve issues surrounding same-sex attraction.

A man’s journey out of homosexuality will be easier if he has the
support of his friends and family, and this book can give you ideas on
supporting someone you love.

The process described is not one of suppressing homosexual
feelings and controlling behavior through willpower. The goal is to resolve
the inner conflicts that created the attractions.
Although homosexual behavior can be stopped in the short term by
exercising willpower, the unmet emotional and social needs won’t go away
until they are fulfilled in nonsexual ways. As men resolve the underlying
causes, the unwanted impulses will diminish or disappear.

The book focuses on understanding and resolving the inner conflicts that underlie the homosexual
struggle. The sexual impulses will not disappear until the legitimate emotional needs are met.
Meeting these legitimate emotional needs is the key to the healing process.

Reviews

"Jason Park knows about the homosexual struggle. He made the
journey out. His story is a compelling one. For LDS men who struggle with
unwanted homosexual attractions, and for the family, friends, and
professionals who want to help them, these books provide an important
message: change is possible."

"These are great books written by a skilled LDS author. One is an
important guide for the struggler and the other an instructional text for
Church leaders, families, and friends who are seeking to understand this
difficult issue. The books support therapeutic information with Latter-day
Saint scriptures and instructions from General Authorities. The
combination is a powerful testimony for those seeking to transition out of
homosexual problems."
